Today, the neighborhood has managed to keep some of the large homes of the past, though little remains of the vast acreage and giant mansions that once dominated the landscape. A prime example is a building which once was the art-nouveau mansion of the Prado family, near the western end of Angelica Avenue, which today houses the graduate and post-graduate courses of the [[University of São Paulo]]'s College of Architecture and Urbanism (FAU). |

It was in the 1950s that the neighborhood as it is today started to rise from the mansions of the past. Large real estate investments in the area caused the demolition of many of the large mansions and houses by which the neighbourhood was characterized. When this happened, the area became a melting pot of the new, modern architecture and large buildings, and the old elegant architecture of the earlier eras. |

In the period between 1970 and 1990, the area was still a place where the wealthy lived to get away from the hustle and bustle of the center of the city, and still contained much of its earlier social segregation. |

It remained thus until the beginning of the 20th{{nbsp}}century, when it was converted into a residential neighbourhood for São Paolo's upper class. It was attractive due to its high elevation, wide open streets and an array of woody plants. Also, being far from the Luz train station and out of the old city center, it was much quieter and cleaner, giving it the name ''Higienópolis'', 'City of Hygiene', also the name of an avenue in the district.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}} |

*Traffic is an ongoing problem in the city, and just as much so in Higienópolis. The majority of the area's residents tend not to use public transportation, and instead opt for driving their own cars, or using private taxis or driving services. The traffic problem is compounded by there being no [[São Paulo Metro|subway stations]] in the center of the area, the closest one being Marechal Deodoro, which borders the neighborhoods of Santa Cecília and Consolação, which is located at the end of Paulista Avenue. There is currently a station under construction near Mackenzie, which will be called Higienópolis and Paulista Stations, though still not being close to the highest residential areas of the neighborhood. |
